Simulation linking health insurance dependent eligibility to rental income
Problem
Small-scale landlords aged 55–62 who own 1–2 small apartments must navigate separate systems — the National Tax Service (Hometax), National Health Insurance Service, and private tax consultations — to determine whether separate taxation or comprehensive taxation is more favorable for rental income under $15,000/year, and how that choice affects their health insurance dependent status. A wrong choice can trigger an additional $112–$225/month in health insurance premiums, resulting in $1,350–$2,700/year in unnecessary expenses discovered too late.
Solution
Enter rental income, other income sources, and spouse's income to get a single-screen comparison simulation showing: (1) After-tax difference between separate vs. comprehensive taxation, (2) Health insurance dependent status loss risk and estimated premium changes, (3) Tax reduction benefits of registering as a rental business operator. The key differentiator is integrating tax and health insurance into a unified 'total out-of-pocket cost' comparison rather than treating them separately.
